Historical building with an impressive lobby area. Rooms are nothing but basic. Location is perfect for hiking. You will see Mt. Rainier in front of your eyes and trails are everywhere around this rustic charming hotel. The restaurant inside is quite good. We enjoy late breakfast and dinner there while we are staying. Another advantage of staying here is you can shoot early morning Mt. Rainier pictures in front of this place. Sunrise light cast the mountain beautiful pink purple colors.

Rainier was spectacular in August. The Paradise Inn did not ruin our experience of Ranier but we highly recommend you find another place to stay. We booked a room for our anniversary during August. When we got to our room, the windows were covered in paper and we could not see out of them or open them. Outside was a painter who was using a sprayer so noisy we could not hear each other in the room. The room smelled like paint. We went back to the desk and they told us they had to paint when there was dry weather and they could not give us another room. The manager also said he could not tell us when they would remove the paper from the windows. The breakfast menu looks good but our food was overcooked and the fruits and vegetables were brown and wilted.
We prepaid for the room and then they charged our credit card again. We got charged twice for this terrible experience.

This is one of the best places to stay in Mt. Rainier National Park. The location is perfect for hiking in the Paradise area or for having a glass of wine at night with a great view of the mountain. My husband and I liked it here overall because of the location, the bed was comfortable enough, and the bathroom was clean, but the windows didn't really close, there was a lot of paint chipping off the building, and the restaurant was pretty mediocre. The views are amazing though, so just prepare yourself for a little bit of rusticness and give the Paradise Inn a try.

If you are going to Mt. Rainier, You should stay in this hotel. It has quite a bit of charm and atmosphere and a WONDERFUL view of the mountain.
